The Rwandan government operates as a presidential republic, where the President serves as both the head of state and government. The current political system is characterized by a multi-party framework, although the Rwandan Patriotic Front (RPF) has been the dominant party since the end of the Rwandan Genocide in 1994. The government is structured into three branches: the executive, legislative, and judiciary. The Parliament consists of two chambers: the Senate and the Chamber of Deputies. Local governance is managed through various administrative entities, ensuring that policies and services reach communities effectively.
